Gunnar Jeannette"The WeatherTech Racing team had me come to the test so I would be eligible to drive in the race as a reserve driver," Jeannette said. "No one likes the circumstances, I hate it for Cooper, Le Mans is the highlight of every driver's year. I have been with the team all week and I am ready step in and drive."

This will be Jeannette's eighth Le Mans start. He has a previous best finish of fifth, overall, in 2003.

The 84th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans will take the green flag at 3 p.m. CEST (9 a.m. ET) on Saturday.
